Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!

Women Talk


Words women use, so guys, be forewarned.

FINE
This is the word women use to end an
argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed this is half an hour. Five minutes is
only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to
watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and
you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "Nothing"
usually end in "Fine".

GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but it is a non-verbal statement
often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you
are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing
here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can
make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long
and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your
mistake.

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say
you're welcome.

WHATEVER
It's a woman's way of saying *!#@ YOU!

WHAT DID YOU SAY?
No, she's not hard of hearing. She's just giving you a chance
to recant the stupid thing that just came out of your mouth and
to either escalate the conflict by saying it louder (remember,
you'll lose) or to come up with a clever substitute that sounds
pretty close to it (like instead of saying, "That's why I hate
you," you would say, "That's why I dated you"). WARNING: If
you try to use "Nothing" as a response, she won't accept it.

Peace

Gratitude list
1) you guys
2) sleep
3) silliness
4) that i can read all the books I do
5) putting my two legs on the floor and waking up.

Odat,I might be in trouble here, I just got off the phone with Mrs Dub, it went like this: "FINE, GO AHEAD for 5 MINUTES and do NOTHING.(LOUD SIGH) THAT'S OK, WHAT DID YOU SAY? WHATEVER!
I don't recall her saying "THANKS"

If only my hubby knew this a long time ago, the last 13 years would have been kinmder to him.

Odat, this is brilliant! It could have widespread ramifications, like the heiroglyphics.

You are the Rosetta Stone for Womanspeak.

When I say that I love those shoes, it means "buy them for me."

I think that's why those Twix commercials are so successful. :)

Given that you bend the space-time continuum with such ease, is there any wonder that men get so confused?

The CEO said...

Please note the wonderment.

Unknown said...

Well.... FINE! WHATEVER!!!

(It just doesn't seem to have the same effect when said by a male of the species)

Later Y'all
